Part 1 EPIGENETICS: How Your Choices Change Your Genes Welcome to the 3rd Series of A 4 Part Series on Well-Being: A Re-Conceptualized Skill As you read/listen to this 3rd Series titled Epigenetics, I want to remind you to think about the following 2 foundational questions throughout this 4-Part Series. The first question is: Why is it that some people are more vulnerable to life's slings and arrows and others more resilient? The second question is: How can we nurture this quality and promote more human flourishing to promote more resilience? Let’s talk about Epigenetics.

For example, if you have love, compassion, joy, or equanimity in your life, then the genes that cause self-regulation or homeostasis or what ordinary people call "healing", these genes go up in their activity.

Developing Physician Leaders in Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Medicine
By KJ Lavan RESEARCH STATEMENT Developing Physician Leaders in Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Medicine By KJ Lavan My passion for inspiring well-being through neuroplasticity & epigenetics has led me to this question: What should medical students learn about artificial intelligence (AI) as it relates to well-being? Starting with the concept of a “re-imagined medical school,” my continued research is focused on developing a pilot for which physician-leaders are fluent in AI & medicine. In considering the complexities of a multidisciplinary, integrated approach to learning, it is critical to distinguish between that which all physicians must know for everyday practice, and that which some physicians should know to drive innovation. Medical schools play a critical role in not only helping students learn but also, just as importantly, nurturing their academic interests while sowing the seeds of future leadership. In light of emerging AI innovations projected to have an increasi
